Reversing Camera - DONE!
Not without its problems though.
A hoooge thanks to Sparky Craig for his time and effort today, and for being so understanding.
Thanks to Quality Dave aka Stokeballoon as it was his kit. Cheers mate gratefully received.
Thanks to SteveP, CamelUK and Maverick on MY-Gti for their guides.
Special mention to SteveP for pointing out my skoolboy error and for answering his phone.
So anyway. Install took around 2-3 hours but when we tried it no picture not even a blank screen. Checked all connections, buzzed cables, measured levels, using VCDS saw the car in reverse.
Even went as far as swapping RNS's with Craig which at least proved mine could work. Lots of head scratching at this point.
It was about this time that I called SteveP and his first question was is the boot closed. Doh!
Closed the boot and we at least saw something on the screen. Yay. It was blank but at least we saw something.
I then proceeded to dick around with Aux input/levels in the setup menu. Fook me it started working. Put everything back and it still worked.
No need to delve further. Put the 2 cars back together and say a small thanks to whoever was watching over me.
Jobs a good 'un.
However I do owe a hoooge apology to Craig as through my inept sausage fingered clumsiness I managed to drop my screwdriver, which bounced and scratched his car. Had it scratched mine I would have said c'est la vie but someone elses makes me totally gutted.
Sorry mate, I will fix it. Whatever you want
